My first encounter with Poketo happened a couple of years ago when a friend of mine and I took out our wallets to pay for a bar tab that had way too many beers on it. At the time, Poketo was just selling limited edition wallets with some amazing artwork printed on them. My friend got the wallet as a gift. Today, Poketo sells stationery, things for your apartment, t-shirts, and of course, they still sell their amazing wallets.

Team Manila is a graphic design studio in the Philippine islands. They also sell apparel and clothing. Whatever the Philippine design scene will look like in the coming years, it’s a safe bet that Team Manila will have a strong influence in it.

Threadless is quite amazing. It’s like a never-ending t-shirt design contest. Artists submit their designs and people rate them, which in turn gives the people at Threadless an idea of which designs will sell the most. And of course, artists whose designs are chosen for print not only get their name out there, they also earn quite a bit of cash.

Islands Fold is one of the more interesting online stores on this list. It is, first and foremost, an artist residency operated by Angela Conley and Luke Ramsey. They invite other artists to live with them with the goal of producing great art. I first came across Luke Ramsey’s work in a book called Street Sketchbook.
